MOst centers just push out from the inside toward the outside, so you'll probably have to remove a wheel. Some have set screws, or other locking devices so look at them carefully before forcing anything.

I needed to take the wheels off to remove the caps from the inside. They are exactly 3 in. I tried to fit the Porsche caps from my stock 17" wheel but they are too large in diameter by maybe a mm. I ordered paint, primer, and clear from Paintscratch.com for my bumperettes so I'll likely just sand, prime, and paint the caps to match the Arctic Silver.
